Do you know the best hockey players today? As we all know, there are many talented and outstanding hokey players in the NHL. They all enjoy good fame and unique achievement. I made a painful choice to pick the top 3 NHL players playing today.
1 - Sidney Crosby
You might wonder why I've put #87 at the top of the list of the NHL's best players over Alexander Ovechkin. There isn't much to choose between these two great stars. However, Ovechkin's stats are surely bolstered because he gets to play with talented Swedish center Nicklas Backstrom on a nightly basis. Crosby, on the other hand, rarely has the luxury of playing with another superstar.
Despite playing with guys who should be pulling duty on the third line Crosby has continually put up big numbers. He had another great season with his wholesale nhl jerseys shining last year, scoring career high 51 goals (1 more than Ovechkin), earning a share of the Rocket Richard aTrophy with Steven Stamkos, and 109 points to finish second in league scoring behind Henrik Sedin. I wouldn't bank on ...
... Crosby nabbing the Richard Trophy again this season, but he will certainly be in the hunt for both the Art Ross and the Hart, and no doubt will show up on the highlight reel on a regular basis.
2 - Alexander Ovechkin
Only a whisker's breadth separated my number two and number one selection. Alexander Ovechkin has been a one man wrecking crew ever since he entered the league in 2005. He is the most feared shooter in the game, and goaltenders shake in their pads when they see this burly Russian winger bearing down on them. Goalies aren't the only ones with cause for nervousness when the Great 8 is on the ice.
He is also one of the most punishing hitters in the game, and he is without fear when in pursuit of the puck, crushing his opponents and taking the frozen biscuit as his prize. His combination of speed, size and skill make him the complete offensive package, and as the newest captain of the Washington Capitals he has shown himself to be an inspirational leader as well.
3 - Henrik Sedin
I can't ignore Henrik Sedin's incredible season last year, where he managed to fend off Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin to capture not only the Art Ross Trophy but the Hart Trophy as well. Even more impressive is that he accomplished this feat with his brother out with injury for nearly a quarter of the season. If the pair can stay healthy for the full 82 games then Henrik certainly has a shot at another scoring title, and his main competition might end up being his own brother.
